Our company was founded on August 23, 1952.

In 1952, Dr Jin Imachi, a researcher at Tokyo Shibaura Electric Co. (now Toshiba Corp.) foresaw a promising future in vacuum technology and founded a company by obtaining an investment of one million yen worth of pocket money from each of the following five business leaders in the Kansai Region: Mr. Konosuke Matsushita (then President of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.), Mr. Yoshio Osawa (then Executive Chairman of Osawa & Co.), Mr. Aiichiro Fujiyama (then President of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and President of Dainippon Sugar Production Co., later elected as a member of the House of Representatives, and posted to various high offices such as Minister of Foreign Affairs), Mr. Tamesaburo Yamamoto (then President of Asahi Breweries, Ltd.), and Mr. Gen Hirose (then President of Nippon Life Insurance Co.); as well as Mr. Yoshijiro Ishikawa (President of Keifuku Electric Railway Co. and the first president of ULVAC).

In the early years of foundation, ULVAC engaged in the importation and sale of products of NRC (National Research Corporation), an American vacuum equipment manufacturer. In 1954, ULVAC succeeded in shifting to domestic production of vacuum equipment.

ULVAC is a coinage derived from “Ultimate in Vacuum” by combining the UL in “Ultimate” and the VAC in “Vacuum.” The meaning is “to pursue the ultimate in vacuum technology.”

Our company recognizes profit distribution to shareholders as one of our most important policies. At the same time, given that we operate in an industry characterized by fluctuating capital investment trends and remarkable technological innovation, we have adopted a policy to increase returns to shareholders with a target consolidated dividend payout ratio of 35% or more. This approach takes into account the need to secure sufficient internal reserves for research and development investments in growth areas and to build a stable financial foundation.

Our basic policy is to pay dividends once a year to shareholders on record at the end of the fiscal year, as approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders.

The trading unit is 100 shares.
